Things about Ken

It didn't take long at all at the doc's office today. In and out in less than 30 min. He already had a large graphic on the wall where he drew what he was going to do. A thing where he could draw on it then wipe  it clean.

One aneurysm is larger than the other one. They plan to do one at a time or if conditions are right then they will do both while they are in there. The largest one will be done first. Then if they have to wait the other one will be done about 3 weeks later.
The last couple of weeks they have come out with a new material they are going to use. They are going to get the team together and do it on the 26th of Sept if they can get all four doctors together at the same time. Two surgeons, one heart surgeon, and one anesthetist person plus the nurses.  Some of the doctors will have to come from other cities.
I am going to be optimistic and pray that things will go right.
Prayers will be appreciated.


Thanks for the prayers you all have already sent.

Love to all.
Have a blessed week.
Helen

    Prayers and wishes for good health for Ken.

    Take care Helen.

  2. It sounds like he'll have the best doctors with the latest technology. He must have a good mental attitude as well. Both of you hang in there. It's a long wait til the 26th. You will be in my prayers and thoughts for a successful surgery and speedy recovery.

  6. I am hoping Ken will have a good outcome to the surgery and that they will be able to do both at the same time, but if not, good luck to him on both. It seems there is a price to living longer but I am sure his attitude is good and the price is worth it to him for continued life.

  7. I too will be praying for a good outcome and a speedy recovery. It is amazing what they can do now . Modern medicine is a miracle in itself.
    Glad you have a doctor that takes time to explain everything so you know what to expect too. That makes it much more reassuring.

  8. Ken will be in our prayers Helen. Sounds like he is going to be in good hands. It would be nice if they could do it all at once so he will not have to go through any more. SO we will pray the conditions are great and they can get it all done. Prayers, Lona

  9. Good luck to Ken, and hugs for you. Sometimes I think it's harder to be the one in the waiting room than the one in surgery. Prayers for you both ~

  18. Praying all goes well for him. As for the prostrate, my husband's is always enlarged. So we go by the number from the blood test they do for the prostrate cancer test. Not much fun growing older. Shame someone hasn't written a book about what we might expect. LOL But that's like having an instruction book for rearing children, no two are alike. Hang in there.
